Cornerstone: The Rise of Mithras
CORNERSTONE
The Cult of Mithras, a soldier's religion driven underground as Christianity rose in Ancient Rome, exists TODAY and is still at providing the background to three lives on a collision course.
Meet Felicita "Fizz" Serra, on the run from her father's Swiss-based group of professional art thieves - fleeing secrets around the identity of her father and her own mother's death.
Then there's Leonard "L" Goldman, a British Museum archaeologist framed for the death of his former Professor, witness to a cover up at a Mesopotamian dig.
Finally Sergei Marchakov, "the Hunchback", a Russian strongarm technician with the job of smuggling the Cornerstone across international borders, killing his way across Europe and beyond.
Welcome to a no-holds-barred thriller in the grand tradition, an edge of your seat adventure that will take you to hell and back again.
“As I lay in my Covid Deathbed, barely able to raise my fingers to turn the pages of “Cornerstone” (capitalised), I slowly came to realise that there is a new author writing a mixture of wonderful erudition and absolute tosh.
A creative blend of history, geography, scholarship, and possibly magic mushrooms.
Loved it.
Pietro La Downet”
"An intricately plotted non-stop one part Bond, one part Dahl, a dash of Le Carre with a twist of Castaneda, but all "100 Proof" Fennessy. An instant classic!"~ Verngart Hiedlemann AO, Literary Ctritic
"Enough action and adventure to fill three books!" ~ Laurel Billington, Artspace
"...really scary in parts?"~ RE, Australian Embassy Italy
"Quite the Body Count!"~ John Ford, Relume

Action, adventure, suspense, explosions and a body count you would not believe! This book has EVERYTHING including the occult, art thieves, fights on moving trucks and scenes around Europe and the Middle East.
I liked it so much I wished I’d written it… and then realised I had!! I hope you like it too… ;)

Blood, guts and glory!
An intercontinental mystery mashup of artefacts and the after effects of stolen property falling into the wrong hands. A thoroughly enjoyable tale with many sharp and gory turns.
